Piraeus is the main port of Athens, just 20 minutes by metro and it is the departure point for most of the Greek Islands.

Athens, a thousand and one cities -
When you climb up to the Acropolis, keep looking at the view as you stroll about. Every time you'll see another city.

A city filled with contrasts and surprises. Beautiful and varied. Every second Athens becomes a different city.

Ancient. And Byzantine. And Neoclassical. And modern. Crowded. And solitary. And always smiling.

You can find Athen's smile everywhere: in an ancient theatre, in a modern exhibition hall, at a sports event, down by the sea, high on a mountain top during a guided tour, at a concert, around the table in a tavernaki, in a garden during a posh reception, in a little alleyway, in a spacious square, behind the mast of a sailboat or next to the column of an old temple. Or somewhere near a contemporary sculpture.
Athens is always another city.
